Question 371183: Select the set of equations that represents the following situation: The sum of two numbers is 54, and their difference is nine more than the smaller number. What are the two numbers?
a x + y = 54; x – y = x – 9
b x + y = 54; y – x = x + 9
c 2x = 54; 54 = x + 9
d 2y = 54; 54 = x – 9 Answer by user_dude2008(1862) (Show Source):
